Exciting news for fish and chip lovers across the Vale of Glamorgan – Farnham’s Award Winning Fish & Chips has taken over the much-loved Boofy’s on Barry Island, the iconic chip shop known to generations of visitors and famous for its connection with the hit TV series Gavin and Stacey.
A new chapter for a Barry Island favourite
The new custodians are delighted to continue the legacy of a place that holds a special spot in the hearts of locals and visitors alike. Previous owner Boofy himself has expressed his happiness at passing on the mantle, confident that Farnham’s will carry the tradition forward while maintaining the spirit that made the Barry Island chip shop so popular.
A growing Vale of Glamorgan success story
Farnham’s has long been a favourite across the Vale of Glamorgan, building a strong reputation for high-quality, traditional fish and chips and proper chippy favourites. With successful locations already serving customers in Boverton, Fontygary in Rhoose and Cowbridge, the Barry Island takeover marks another exciting chapter for this growing local business.
Now featured in the latest edition of Vale Life, Farnham’s continues to demonstrate why independent local businesses remain such an important part of communities across the Vale of Glamorgan.
Traditional fish and chips done properly
Famous for perfectly crispy fish and chips, Farnham’s serves all the comforting classics you would expect from a proper British chippy. From golden pies and sausages in batter to hearty curry sauces and generous portions, it is the kind of food that brings people together and keeps customers coming back for more.
Quality remains at the heart of everything Farnham’s does. Only the freshest fish is used, coated in the team’s signature secret batter and cooked to perfection, ensuring every portion delivers that unmistakable traditional chippy taste.
For visitors searching for fish and chips on Barry Island, Farnham’s offers the perfect combination of a much-loved location, traditional favourites and the quality associated with an established Vale of Glamorgan name.
Continuing a much-loved Barry Island tradition
The Farnham’s team is proud to be part of the Barry Island community and looks forward to welcoming loyal Boofy’s fans, local residents, day-trippers and new visitors alike.
By taking on one of Barry Island’s best-known chip shops, Farnham’s is continuing a much-loved tradition with the same passion for great fish and chips, friendly service and proper British comfort food.
